Mounting recommendations

The STAP® product family, comprising a combination of the ubiquitous PowerSO-10™

package and a smartly designed compression clamp, provides a system to achieve superior

electro-mechanical contact between the PowerSO-10 heat slug and a heatsink in traditional

bolt-down applications where through-the-board mounting and removal procedures are

required. The clamp is bonded to the PowerSO-10 package with a formulated epoxy. The

STAP® family is not recommended and should not be considered as a stand-alone package

for surface mount soldering applications.

Mounting recommendations are available on www.st.com (see application note AN3232).
